In "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, Elizabeth Proctor evolves from frigid into forgiving through John Proctor's actions making her an admirable character. Elizabeth's husband, John Proctor, recently had an affair on her with their maid, Abigail Williams. This is initially what caused the whole Salem Witch Trials fiasco. Elizabeth becomes more coldhearted due to what John did to her. John never verbally tells Elizabeth about the affair, but he didn't have to for her to know what went on. She kicks Abigail out of the house, and stays loyal to John. For this reason, Abigail makes wild accusations and accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft. Once Elizabeth finds out she's been accused it's her desire to do what is right, and not give into the hysteria
